At least 90% of new Forex traders lose

Do you know? At least 90% of new Forex traders lose all their money within their first 3 months of trading. This means that they have no idea what the heck they are doing! They just jump into the market blindly with only hopes and dreams and rely on the flip of a coin to determine their success. 90% of Forex traders are uneducated and lack the basic knowledge of how the Forex really works. They rely solely on luck without LEARNING ANY OF THE BASICS AT ALL! And reliable sources suggest that up to 10% of these under- informed Forex traders end up losing their entire trading account!



So do we assume that most losing traders are just ignorant? Of course not. Most losing traders are quite intelligent. In fact, most people who inquire about Forex trading have above average IQ's. So why do they FAIL...? They simply lack the discipline required to learn about how the Forex actually works. They are initially overconfident and consider their quick 5 minute market analysis to be 100% correct. More often than not they are 100% WRONG!



Here are Ten Roadblocks to Trading often faced by Forex traders:



1. You have signed up for two or three "systems" but none work as advertised.



2. You have purchased several books on technical analysis, but they are complicated and difficult to use in a fast-moving, volatile market.



3. You have watched so many different signals and studied so many indicators, you switch without a strategy from one approach to another. You are totally confused about when to buy and sell.



4. When you get behind, you force yourself to take bad trades in order to "catch up" or "get even". It's becoming more like gambling than disciplined trading.



5. You are paying big monthly fees for signals, but you still cannot achieve consistent trading.



6. You are trading alone and wish you had some help and advice -- or just a little feedback from experienced traders.



7. Because you are discouraged, you begin to be suspicious that many suppliers are dishonest or just don't care about offering poor quality support.



8. Because you continue to lose money, trading is beginning to make you discouraged and stressed in other parts of your life.



9. Your losses are mounting quickly, into the thousands or perhaps hundred of thousands of dollars.



10. You are about to give up, because your account balance is low and you feel you have wasted all this time and money on useless research and unpleasant days of having the market move against you.

Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.

When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said,
"Nothing, I just helped him cry"

USD - Dollar Drops on Poor Data

The American Dollar saw an extremely bearish session during last week's trading as it dropped in value against all the major currencies. The EUR/USD actually rose to the 1.4000 level for the first time in 5 months!

It appears that two main economic indicators have initiated the USD's downfall on all fronts throughout last week. For starters, the U.S Building Permits report revealed that hopes for an improvement in the U.S housing sector are currently unrealistic, as only 490,000 new residential building permits were issued during April. Many analysts have assumed that the first significant step in pulling out of the recession will be shown from the housing sector. The reason is very simple, it was the mortgages crisis that caused this gloomy economic condition, and a real improvement in the housing sector would have shown that both investors and the major banks have regained confidence in American real-estate, which should be a sign for all others that the economy is recuperating.

In addition, on Thursday, the weekly Unemployment Claims showed that 631,000 individuals have filed for unemployment insurance for the first time, making it the 16th week in a row on which over 600K people have done so. The combination of these two publications had a very clear effect on the Dollar, and its drop in value was only a matter of time.

As for the week ahead, a bundle of data is expected from the U.S economy, and traders should take notice of all of the major indicators. The Consumer Confidence report is expected on Tuesday, and analysts predict that the best result in six months may be published. This has the potential effect of reversing trends in the forex market, as it will show that people are regaining their confidence in the US economy, and in their government to improve the situation in the near future. The New Home Sales on Thursday will probably steal all of the attention on a busy news day, as the housing sector seems to have the biggest impact on the USD for the moment.

EUR - The EUR Soars amid Positive German Data

Last week the EUR saw bullish trends against most of its major currency counterparts, as its most significant appreciation was against the USD. The EUR/USD rose to over 1.4000, marking a 5-month record.

Last week's trading was highly impacted by the positive signals from the German economy. Germany is the biggest and strongest economy in the Euro-Zone, and thus has the most influence on the region's currency. On Tuesday, the German ZEW Economic Sentiment report was published with an amazing 31.1 mark. The Economic Sentiment is a diffusion index based on surveyed institutional investors and analysts. The 31.1 figure was the most positive figure seen since June 2007. What was so incredible about this result was that it followed a series of negative publications and was really "out of the blue." This had an immediate reaction on the EUR and a strong bullish trend, especially against the USD, took place. Later on last week, the German Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Indices were release, both with better than expected figures, further strengthening the EUR.

Looking ahead to this week, the most important data expected from the Euro-Zone will be published later on today, at 08:00 GMT. The German Ifo Business Climate, which is derived from about 7,000 businessman who are asked to rate the level of current business conditions, has proven before to have a significant impact over the EUR, especially when analysts forecast that the positive signs from Germany will continue with a 85.1 figure. If the real result will be similar, another bullish trend might take place for the EUR, and the EUR/USD may hit as high as 1.4200 this week.

JPY - JPY Provides Mixed Results against the Majors

The Yen saw mixed results during last week's trading. While rising sharply against the USD, the JPY dropped against the EUR and underwent a volatile session against the GBP.

It seems that the negative results coming from the Japanese economy are the main reason for the Yen's volatile behavior. Last week it was released that the Japanese Preliminary Gross Domestic Product (GDP) had dropped by 4.0% in March, making it 4 consecutive months on which the value of all goods and services produced by the Japanese economy dropped. The Tertiary Industry Activity, which measures the change in the total value of services purchased by businessman, has also decreased by 4.0% in March. In addition, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) has decided to leave Interest Rates at 0.10% as it cannot drop it farther and is unwilling to raise it at the moment. On normal conditions, all this should have led to a significant drop for the JPY against every major currency; however, the bearishness of the Dollar was the leading force in the forex market last week, and thus even the weak Yen rose against the USD.

As for the week ahead, a batch of data is expected from the Japanese economy. The Trade Balance scheduled for Tuesday will be one of the most impacting publications as the Japanese economy relies greatly on its exports, and this report is one of the best ways to estimate this nation's economic condition. Traders should also consider the Retails Sales and the Household Spending indicators which could possibly dictate the Yen's movements later this week.

Crude Oil - $60 a Barrel Might Be a Solid Price for Crude Oil

Last week was a relatively calm week for Crude Oil. A barrel of oil was traded within the $59 to $62 price range, and wasn't too affected from the large fluctuations of the leading currencies.

Recent Notifications suggest that the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) desires to see Crude Oil reaching $70 a barrel; however, it is currently reluctant to cut supplies as demand for oil still hasn't shown real signs of recovery from the current world-wide economic crisis. In spite of OPEC's will, it appears that investors are pretty cautious on putting their faith in Crude Oil. Even in a week like the last one, on which the Dollar dropped on all fronts, Crude Oil barely rose by $2 a barrel. This could be interpreted as a clear sign of investors that for now the price around $60 a barrel correctly reflects the market value.

Milan vs Roma 2-3, Lecce vs Fiorentina 1-1
Perpisahan Pahit Paolo

Pertandingan melawan Roma di giornata 37, Minggu (24/5), tadinya ingin dipakai Milan untuk melepas Paolo Maldini di depan publik San Siro secara gemilang. Sayang, perpisahan yang terjadi di atas lapangan harus berakhir pahit.


Paolo Maldini, tidak mendapatkan hasil bagus pada penampilan terakhir di San Siro. (Foto: AFP)


Skenario sudah disusun agar Maldini bisa mengucapkan selamat tinggal dengan indah. Semua tifosi yang hadir di San Siro menerima syal bertuliskan Tre solo per te (Tiga hanya untuk Anda, merujuk pada seragam Milan bernomor tiga milik Paolo) dan album foto yang melukiskan 24 tahun karier Maldini bersama Milan.

Keluarga Maldini dihadirkan dengan memakai kaus khusus yang didedikasikan untuk il capitano. Seluruh pemain I Rossoneri sendiri mengenakan kostum yang akan mereka pakai musim depan. Sayang, skenario indah itu berantakan.

Milan kalah 2-3 dari Roma. Maldini setidaknya bertanggung jawab atas terjadinya gol kedua I Lupi. Ini bukan partai perpisahan yang bagus buat Paolo karena Tim Merah-Hitam sekarang berisiko kehilangan posisi finis yang akan mendapatkan tiket otomatis ke babak utama Liga Champion musim depan.

Di tempat lain, Fiorentina bermain imbang 1-1 melawan Lecce. Tim yang sekarang berada di peringkat keempat itu jadi hanya tertinggal tiga angka dari Milan. Partai terakhir Serie A antara Fiorentina-Milan pun menjadi play-off yang menentukan peraih tiket otomatis ke babak utama Liga Champion.

Fiorentina bisa menyalip Milan kalau mereka menang dengan skor lebih besar dari 1-0. Pada pertemuan pertama musim ini, I Gigliati kalah 0-1 dari Il Diavolo. Apabila poin dua tim sama, peringkat ditentukan oleh hasil head-to-head mereka.

"Sayang sekali situasi yang tidak kami inginkan justru menjadi kenyataan. Ini skenario terburuk yang harus kami lalui. Kami mesti pergi ke Firenze dan menyelesaikan misi finis di posisi 3 besar di sana," kata pelatih Milan, Carlo Ancelotti, seperti dikutip Football Italia.

Pahitnya pesta perpisahan Maldini semakin lengkap karena kesempatan lap of honour setelah pertandingan usai juga dirusak sebagian tifosi di Curva Sud Giuseppe Meazza. Mereka menggelar spanduk bertuliskan: "Hanya ada satu kapten Milan: Franco Baresi".

Ancelotti berusaha membela kaptennya. "Selebrasi untuk Maldini tidak bisa dirusak sekelompok tifosi. Aksi mereka hanya setitik air di dalam lautan penuh cinta dan respek untuk pemain besar ini. Protes sebagian tifosi tidak mengubah apa pun". (Dwi Widijatmiko)





Melewati 900 Partai
Diminta Mencapai Milenium

Paolo Maldini sudah menetapkan hati pensiun di akhir musim ini. Tapi, Milan masih saja mencoba meyakinkannya untuk terus bermain. Niat itu diungkapkan Wakil Presiden Adriano Galliani ketika memberikan medali penghargaan kepada Maldini atas penampilannya yang ke-900.

Paolo mencapai milestone itu pekan lalu di partai melawan Udinese. Dengan penampilannya di giornata 37, Minggu (24/5), Maldini berarti sudah tampil 901 kali untuk Milan di pertandingan resmi.

"Saya bilang kepada Paolo bahwa dia memiliki waktu sampai 6 Juli untuk mengubah keputusannya dan mencoba mencapai milenium (1.000 pertandingan). Saya pikir Paolo tidak tertandingi di dunia. Tidak ada pemain yang bisa tampil 900 kali untuk tim yang sama di level tertinggi," kata Galliani di acmilan.com.

901 PARTAI MALDINI
-------------------------------------
Liga: 647
Piala/Liga Champion: 139
Piala UEFA: 22
Piala Italia: 72
Kompetisi Lain (Piala Super Eropa, Piala Super Italia, Piala Interkontinental, Piala Dunia Klub, dll.): 21




Kapten Milan 2009/10
Maldini Minta Kaka

Setelah Paolo Maldini pensiun, siapa kapten Milan yang baru mulai musim 2009/10 masih terus dinanti. Tiga kandidat kuat sudah diketahui publik. Mereka adalah Massimo Ambrosini, Gennaro Gattuso, dan Kaka.

Apa pendapat Maldini sendiri? Paolo ternyata tidak melihat senioritas yang dimiliki Ambrosini dan Gattuso. Ia mengedepankan nama Kaka sebagai calon penggantinya.

"Ada waktunya ketika seorang pemain harus memikul tanggung jawab yang lebih besar. Saya merasa kepergian saya telah menghadirkan waktu itu untuk Kaka," ucap Paolo kepada Football Italia.

"Saya pikir Ricky akan berada di sini dalam waktu yang lama. Dia memiliki aspirasi untuk menjadi seorang kapten dan kepribadian yang tepat untuk melakukannya," sebut Maldini.

I Rossoneri mungkin akan mendengarkan pendapat Maldini. Seiring dengan berisikonya Milan gagal meraih tiket otomatis ke babak utama Liga Champion, Real Madrid dikabarkan telah menaikkan tawaran untuk Kaka menjadi sebesar 80 juta euro. Ban kapten bisa membuat Kaka tidak mempertimbangkan godaan Madrid. (wid)

Liverpool vs Tottenham 3-1, Fulham vs Everton 0-2
Tiket Terakhir untuk Cottagers

Pekan ke-38 Premier League tuntas sudah menutup Premier League 2008/09 pada Minggu (24/5). Sayangnya, persaingan untuk menentukan posisi akhir di zona-zona krusial ternyata tidak sepanas yang diprediksi para pundit sebelumnya.

Praktis penghuni peringkat ke 7 dan 8 tidak berubah seperti halnya konstelasi di posisi ke-16 hingga ke-19. Semua klub di peringkat itu menderita kekalahan sehingga stagnasi tak bisa dihindari.

Kondisi antiklimaks ini sungguh mengecewakan ketika publik berharap Tottenham bisa mengalahkan Liverpool di Anfield untuk menggusur posisi Fulham, yang disambangi Everton. Faktanya Spurs kalah 1-3 dan tiket terakhir ke Liga Europa pun jadi milik The Cottagers, yangmeski kalah 0-2 dari Everton di Craven Cottagetetap bertahan di urutan ketujuh.

Romansa yang membuat drama terakhir untuk menentukan kepastian soal tujuh tim wakil Inggris ke Eropa musim 2008/09 ini akhirnya hanya menyangkut Samy Hyypia dan Robbie Keane semata.

Hyypia, yang kini telah berumur 35 tahun, pekan lalu mencicipi rumput Anfield untuk terakhir kalinya. Bek tengah asal Finlandia itu didaulat Rafael Benitez untuk masuk menggantikan Steven Gerrard di enam menit terakhir sebelum musim depan dirinya hengkang ke Bayer Leverkusen.

Pemain yang telah sepuluh tahun berbaju Reds itu sebenarnya ditawari untuk terus bertahan sebagai staf pelatih,tapi Hyypia memilih untuk terus bermain di peng ujung kariernya ini.

Kegembiraan Hodgson

Seluruh pemain Liverpool pun melakukan standing ovation untuk melepas Hyypia, yang juga mendapat ucapan selamat dari Keane. Nama terakhir ini adalah pencetak satu-satunya gol balasan Spurspada menit ke-77, setelah tuan rumah unggul lewat sundulan Fernando Torres (31’) dan gol bunuh diri Alan Hutton (64’).

Sementara itu di London, menyikapi kekalahan yang tetap meloloskan timnya ke Eropa, bos Fulham, Roy Hodgson, menyebut bahwa prestasi ini sangat menggembirakan. Pencapaian tersebut juga merupakan raihan peringkat tertinggi klub asal London Baratitudipiramida Liga Inggris sejak 130 tahun lalu mereka didirikan. (Darojatun)

Duel Pelatih
Bak Murid dan Profesor

Ada jurang, jika bukan palung, menganga saat kita membandingkan Sir Alex Ferguson dengan Pep Guardiola. Yang disebut pertama telah memulai menapak pentas Eropa bertitel pelatih pada musim 1978/79. Kala itu, yang disebut belakangan masih berusia tujuh tahun!

Well, dengan gap berjarak 29 tahun ini, rasanya wajar jika kemudian perbandingan koleksi trofi kedua pelatihinipun ikutan jomplang. Dalam kurunwaktu22 tahun berkarier sebagai gaffer Manchester United, Fergie mampu menyumbangkan 33 silverware. Pepbaru meng ontribusikan dua gelar.

Meski begitu, di sisi lain Pep layak disebut jauh lebih sensasional mengingat musim 08/09 ini merupakan tahun perdananya di kursi el entrenador. Jika menjadi juara, Pep juga akan bertengger sejajar bareng lima lelaki spesial yang sukses meraih trofi sebagai pemain dan pelatih (Miguel Munoz, Giovanni Trapattoni, Johan Cruyff, Carlo Ancelotti, serta Frank Rijkaard).

Fergiebaru merasakan piala pertama di musim keempat berupa Piala FA 89/90. Namun, The Scotsman berpotensi menyamai rekor Arrigo Sacchi, pria yang terakhir kali mempertahankan trofi kampiun Eropa (Milan 88/89-89/90).

Terlepas dari apa yang sudah diperoleh kedua arsitek yang akan mengadu strategi di Olimpico, Roma, Rabu (27/5), baik Fergie maupun Pep pantas mengantongi predikat pelatih jempolan.Dibutuhkan kualitas eksepsional untuk bisa menekan ego sederet bintang sambil menjadikan gelar sebagai output optimalnya.

Tanpa abilitas mumpuni dalam menegaskan “siapa yang berkuasa” ,pastinya gelar hanya sebatas angan-angan belaka karena tak ada kestabilan tim. Setelah langkah awal berupa iklim kondusif hadir, barulah urusansusun-menyusun strategi bisa dilakoni.

So, jika kita ambil sebuah analogi, mungkin Pep cocok menyandang status murid di hadapan Sir Alex. Bukan sembarang murid, tapi murid jenius. Namanya juga murid, Pep masih “patuh” pada kebiasaan pendahulunya. Skema 4-3-3 pun seolah tak pernah berubah sepanjang laga.

Dengan segudang pengalaman-nya, Sir Alex adekuat disebut sang profesor. Riset mendalam di bidang yang ia kuasai saat bertemu lawan berbagai gayasecara otomatis membuatnya melimpah akan racikan strategi. Dalam situasi deadlock, wajar Fergie hampir selalu punya jalan keluar. (Sapto Haryo Rajasa)




Duel Usia Pelatih di Final
Tua Lebih Sukses

Ada fakta yang tidak berpihak kepada pelatih Barcelona, Josep Guardiola. Sepanjang sejarah Liga Champion, yang berlangsung sejak 1992/93, partai final lebih dikuasai pelatih yang berusia lebih tua.

Dari 16 partai final, ada tiga laga yang mengetengahkan duel pelatih berusia sama. Tiga partai itu adalah Milan-Barcelona 1993/94 (Fabio Capello-Johan Cruijff, 47 tahun), Liverpool-Milan 2004/05 (Rafael Benitez-Carlo Ancelotti, 45), dan Milan-Liverpool 2006/07 (Benitez-Ancelotti, 47).

Tiga belas final yang lain menggelar duel pelatih beda usia. Dari 13 laga itu, sembilan dimenangiarsitek tim yang berusia lebih tua dari rivalnya.

Raymond Goethals (71) mengalahkan Capello (46) pada duel Marseille-Milan 1992/93. Marcello Lippi (48) menang atas Louis van Gaal (44) saat Juventus bertemu Ajax pada musim 1995/96.

Lima partai final beruntun sejak 1997/98 dimenangi pelatih yang lebih senior. Mereka adalah Jupp Heynckes (53, 1997/98), Alex Ferguson (57, 1998/99), Vicente Del Bosque (49, 1999/00), Ottmar Hitzfeld (52, 2000/01), dan Del Bosque (51, 2001/02).

Kejayaan pelatih yang lebih tua dilanjutkanJose Mourinho (42, 2003/04) dan Ferguson (66, 2007/08). Masing-masing menang atas Didier Deschamps (35) serta Avram Grant (53).

Ada empat kejadian di mana partai final dimenangi pelatih yang lebih muda. Pelakonnya adalah Van Gaal (43, 1994/95), Hitzfeld (48, 1996/97), Ancelotti (43, 2002/03), dan Frank Rijkaard (43, 2005/06).

Dua kesuksesan terakhir pelatih berusia lebih muda, yang dilakukanAncelotti dan Rijkaard, pantas mendapatkan kredit khusus. Ketika itu, dua orang bekas pemain Milan ini menang atas rival yang usianya terpaut jauh.

Ancelotti menaklukkan Lippi ,sementara Rijkaard mengalahkan Arsene Wenger. Dua pasang pelatih ini masing-masing berbeda usia 13 tahun.

Perbedaan usia pelatih yang jauh juga terjadi tahun ini. Guardiola masih berumur 38 tahun ,sedangkan Fergie sudah berusia 67 tahun.

Pantas dicatat, selisih 29 tahun antara Guardiola dan Ferguson adalah perbedaan usia pelatih terjauh dalam sejarah final Liga Champion. Selisih usia mereka menaklukkan duel Goethals-Capello pada 1992/93, yang terpaut 25 tahun.

Akankah Guardiola mengikuti jejak Ancelotti dan Rijkaard mengalahkan rival yang berusia lebih tua? Atau Fergie akan semakin menegaskan dominasi pelatih senior di final Liga Champion? (wid)
